It has been a busy week (as usual) with many calls for animals including wildlife. Unfortunately we are not always able to respond to large animal rescues, we do though offer advice and signpost. This week calls have included providing advice to vets, the fire brigade and the Police on several occasions. We receive many…
Whilst some heartless, selfish people take joy in shooting animals and inflicting death and suffering, we go to painstaking efforts to reduce suffering and save lives. This male mallard is one such example, can you please help us raise £2,000 to pay for his treatment and surgery? So far he’s had two operations and now…
DONATIONS NEEDED FOR KITTENS AND MUM CAT. We have taken these five lovely cats and kittens in need this week. One young mum cat with her four kittens came into the rescue in need of a foster space due to a domestic situation. They are four weeks old and will be ready for rehoming in…

They have been untangled from vegetation, checked over for injuries and…
Whilst we are having to turn away rabbits every day of the week and unwanted rabbits are tossed out into the wild to fend for themselves, pet shops, garden centres, petting zoos and online sites are full of breeders selling unvaccinated, un-neutered rabbits for profit! Tom arrived yesterday, he would have been the 300th rabbit…
